 We love this train! Cute and fun for baby November 11, 2009
Cassandra J. Cates (Orlando, Florida)
My son got this at his 1st birthday but he would have liked it sooner. He doesn't like to ride it in fact I was upset my mother got it for him because he already had another ride-on toy. However my son loves to put the blocks in and watch them shoot out and he loves to turn the pages on front..he could do that for hours. He also dances to the music it plays.
 ~*~*~Great Fun Toy BUT for the STRANGULATION HAZARD~*~*~ November 11, 2009
Mommy of Cuties M & Z (USA)
My daughters received this for their 1st Birthday and have liked it since they first layed eyes on it. I'll explain the FUN features after I explain the DANGER.
My daughter Madison, who is the smaller of my twins(3-6 months clothes though she is 1) was playing with the train. There was a block on the other side so she leaned over to get the block but she slipped and her neck went between the front and back of the train(where they connect)!! Thankfully I was sitting right there and immediatly pulled her out but she would NOT have been able to get her self out. This is the same flaw that the Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Chair had, there was a gap that a child could get their neck stuck between the chair & table..if you have the older style with that flaw they will send you a new piece to cover the gap, taking away the entrapment/strangulation hazard.
I did email Vtech about this but have not gotten any response. If you already have this toy I recommend ALWAYS keeping the train seperated from the seat unless an adult is right there with them. If you are thinking about buying this train, I'd skip it and buy something else until the gap is fixed...IF they fix it. Hopefully they will address the problem before a child is injured or killed.
As far as fun, my girls really enjoy this. They love turning the pages of the book, love pulling the blocks out once I put them in and just playing with the blocks by themselves. Their favorite thing is for me to pull/push them around while they sit on the train.
I do think this toy is probably more educational for children over 1 year. At one year they can't put the blocks into the side(at least my girls cant). There are little games that tell you to flip the block over to find what is on the other side or he tells you to find the letter 'P' and put it in the side. So 1 year olds have no idea what he is saying.
If you are looking for a toy for a 1 year old, I would recommend getting something else. My girls do like this but they'll gladly skip this & go for their Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Home or Leapfrog Learning Table, they spend way more time playing with those. If you are looking for a Sit to Stand toy, I don't think this is sturdy enough, my girls can go from sitting to standing w/out a problem but if they hold onto this it will normally tip right over. They do like the walker part of the train and are almost walking but when the train is used as a walker it is NOT very stable/sturdy and this will tip/fall either left or right & so will my girls...they fall more with it than if they were trying to walk w/out anything.
Fun Toy !!! November 11, 2009
Frances J. Long (Huachuca City ,AZ USA)
Bought for our 15 Month Granddaughter- She LOVES IT!! She loves putting the blocks into the spaces to listen to them (took her 3 tries to figure that out) and put the blocks away is fun since they are placed in top of engine and shoot into caboose. Makes cleaning up easy and fun for her and us. The music while repetitive is not annoying for us adults- so everyone can enjoy her playing with it.
My son's favorite toy!! October 14, 2009
Nicole D. Gould (Kansas)
My son LOVES this toy. He got it as a present for his first birthday from his great grandpa who worked for the railroad. He loves putting the blocks in the front and watching them fall into back, turning the pages and hearing what the page says, and love to sit on the train and push himself around. I don't see what is not to love about this toy!! It was an excellent gift!
Great fun for a 10 month old October 1, 2009

Our daughter loves this toy. She plays with the letter blocks and pulls them out of their sockets where they are read aloud by the train. One note to the manufacturer, since you've used a binary coding scheme to tag the blocks, why not also include the numbers 1-10 in the block set?
